Abstract

A graduate elective course in Research Data Management (RDM) was developed and taught as a team by a research librarian and a research active faculty member. Co-teaching allowed each instructor to contribute knowledge in their specialty areas. The goal of this course was to provide graduate students the RDM knowledge necessary to efficiently and effectively manage the data associated with their research projects. Assessment results indicated that student knowledge was increased in all assessed areas.
